The number of protons in a nucleus depends on which element it is. ( The number of protons is the decider as to which element it is. ) The number of electrons in an atom is the same as the number of protons in the nucleus, but none of the electrons are in the nucleus. Rather, they orbit around the nucleus like planets round a star.
What else can I help you with?
How do the number of protons in the atomic nucleus normally compare to the number of electrons that orbit the nucleus?
The number of protons is usually the same as the number of electrons!:)
What do two different neutral isotopes of the same elements have in common?
They have the same number of protons in the nucleus and same number of electrons surrounding the nucleus.
Are protons and electrons both found in the nucleus of a chlorine atom?
No, protons are found in the nucleus of a chlorine atom, while electrons are located outside the nucleus in electron shells. Chlorine has 17 protons in its nucleus, but the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons to maintain overall charge neutrality.
What is the number of protons in the nucleus or the number the electrons in the energy levels called?
The number of protons in the nucleus is called the atomic number and is equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom.
Does a nucleus have the same number of protons and electrons?
The nucleus of an atom contains only protons and neutrons; there are never any electrons in the nucleus. The number of neutrons is generally equal to or greater than the number of protons.
The number of these is equal to the number of electrons in an atom?
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is equal to the number of electrons around the nucleus.
The atomic number of an element is equal to the number of?
It generally corresponds to the number of protons in its nucleus. In a neutral atom, this will also correspond to the number of electrons orbiting the nucleus; however, electrons are more likely to move around.
In atoms electrons and protons are in the same ratio or different ratio?
In atoms, electrons and protons are in the same ratio to maintain electrical neutrality. This means that the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of electrons orbiting the nucleus.
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is its?
electrons
What do the number of electrons do to the number of protons in a atom?
They do nothing to the number of protons. They balance the charge of the protons in the nucleus.
How many protons are in the nucleus of the carbon atom?
Its electrons and protons are the same. just determine its electrons form its atomic number
Atomic number equals the number of?
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus and in a neutral atom will also equal the number of electrons.
